I should be out lying in the sun, getting some vitamin D and a healthy dose of radiation to kill this damn cold thing that's trying to dig its way out of my sinus through my cheek and jaw. It hurts, I'm frustrated, and the next telemarketer is really going to get it.” 11:19:55 AM 2/17/06 “Oh man, I should've Chappy! Nope, that's gotta go to Chicago. Bear, it's not a big deal, something my mom-in-law made for you. Might be good for a smile or two.” 11:31:07 AM 2/17/06 “a pair of knitted pantyhose?” 11:32:53 AM 2/17/06 “Stop it! I love nothing more than getting a surprise smile or two in the mail!” 11:33:29 AM 2/17/06 “Chappy, you just ruined the surprise! Well, at least you didn't tell what color they are.” 11:35:36 AM 2/17/06 “GOOD MORNING VIETN......oops, Good morning all. It's 37 here and raining. I know all you sleepyheads like this crap, and will stay in bed but only lean over to tap the keyboard to reply, drink coffee, or spirits, scratch your butt or rub your eyes, etc. but, hey, you earned it..................Tomorrow is the big day.....away to the Ouachita mountains of Arkansas and a week on the trail....brrrr, but who's complaining? Not me, no no, not me.” 8:20:20 AM 2/18/06 “Good Morning!!!! :) The sun is shining and its 1* with a -18* windchill this morning :) Seems winter had finially decided to arrive.” 9:13:52 AM 2/18/06 “Chappy - have a great hike and great weather. Morning. It's well below zero. How cold? Haven't bothered to go outside to look. Yesterday was plenty cold with a piercing wind that cut through every bit of clothing I could find. I think I'll sit around the house today and overdose on caffeine and day old sweet rolls. ...still thinking of a southern hike to finish off this interminable winter.” 9:37:31 AM 2/18/06 “LOL I just took a cold ass shower. The shower room here is NOT INSULATED. So um.....I had a feeling I should of showered last night instead of this morning LMAO....” 9:43:15 AM 2/18/06 “Today is the coldest day of the year so far, and it fell on my birthday...with temps at -20 and windchill at -45 last night there was no way I was going to enjoy a winter birthday camping trip...” 9:45:12 AM 2/18/06 “Holy SMOKES!!!” 9:51:46 AM 2/18/06 “Happy Birthday, MH. I'd toss my folbot in the Namekagon, float down to the St. Croix to St. Croix Falls and wish it to you in person, but it's too damn cold. Also, I haven't been there since the 60's and want to remember it that way...” 9:59:55 AM 2/18/06 “Thanks Nimblefoot, for the thought...our Folbots would probably not like the slushy ice pack forming on the St Croix...I have to admit I was tempted in January....” 10:41:43 AM 2/18/06 “This morning it was 37 and sunny but is quickly warming up. Yesterday's clouds have moved along during the night.” 10:52:53 AM 2/18/06 “Happy Birthday, MH! Hope you stay warm. :) Cold here in SE Michigan. I sent my fiance out to do the grocery shopping, so I wouldn't have to go outside. :) The bummer is we won't be going ice skaking in The D tonight, too darn cold! We're feeding folks at the Ronald McDonald house.” 11:33:23 AM 2/18/06 “Morning all.......coffee, church and here we go............It's 29 here and 27 in Mena, Ark. with sleet............what a week this will be, pics and trip report to follow in one week........ya'll be good now while I'm gone......or not.” 6:58:41 AM 2/19/06 “Smily Girl! That's great. I do that here once in a while too, sounds like a great night for chili supper. Not so here, 120+ dayw w/o rain, highs in the 70's.” 7:15:33 AM 2/19/06 “Hey, it's Warm outside! Zero degrees! That's what happens when you get up late, I guess...now, what will it be this morning? waffles or pancakes? I brought home some wonderful maple butter they served with the popovers last night plus the fork-tender, rare prime rib and au jus which I shall have for lunch...have a good day all!” 7:18:12 AM 2/19/06 “MORNING hugs.....in the 50s today in South Alabama.....but sleet to the north.....hot vanilla coffee....yes..I am addicted to vanilla creamer...can't drink coffee without it anymore..... ...boy is it going to be quiet in here in the am with chappy on the trail!!!! last edited: 2/20/06 6:34:07 AM” 6:28:21 AM 2/20/06 “16° here, 2° with the windchill. Winter has finally arrived in MI!! No school for the little one. My last day unless I fail my test (then next Monday will be the last day). Everyone say a prayer that I'll be able to remember what I need @2pm, please. That's EST ;)” 7:12:47 AM 2/20/06 “Good luck Sass! Remember everything!” 7:14:52 AM 2/20/06 “I'll be praying for ya but my guess is that you'll do wonderfully without any extra help. Good luck, Sass! You'll do great!” 7:45:40 AM 2/20/06 “Go Sass!! You can do it, I know you can.” 7:53:13 AM 2/20/06 “Good Luck Sassy :-)” 8:38:46 AM 2/20/06 Is this the practical exam? “Remember the mazola;)” 8:57:17 AM 2/20/06 “This is. Just packed up the mazola (actually mine is cold pressed apricot seed oil, sesame oil and grapeseed oil, along with canola and coconut), and the rest of the torture devises. I'm more scared about this test than anything I can remember in a long long time. Thanks everyone for the well wishes.” 10:44:30 AM 2/20/06 “Have a drink, sass. Calm those nerves right down!” 10:47:40 AM 2/20/06 “Good idea. Calming tea, just the ticket. ;) Last thing I need is to be pulled over on the way to the test for DUI. Once I start drinking today I'm not sure I'll want to stop. =D” 10:51:18 AM 2/20/06 “Party at Sass and birch's! Good luck Sass!” 12:47:54 PM 2/20/06 “party at the mexican resturant three blocks from sass and Birch's! Oh, margarita! =) Thanksa bunch for the encouragement guys. TTers are the best!” 7:17:14 PM 2/20/06 “When? Now? Margaritas???? I'm there!” 7:40:35 PM 2/20/06 “Woooohoo! Sounds like things went well! Congrats Sass! Wish I could celebrate with you. I'll be there in spirit so have one for me.” 7:42:42 PM 2/20/06 “Nice, it's above zero this morning...nothing like a yummy cheese omlette and coffee to begin the work-week. Sass, what test were you taking?...what are you studying?” 5:11:54 AM 2/21/06 “I wish the plow would finish our street so I can clean the end of my driveway. There is so much snow in the street yet, the end of my driveway is gonna get buried. Looks like I'll be late for work today if they don't hussle.” 5:21:43 AM 2/21/06 “So, what you're saying is I don't have to worry about snow for my Pictured Rocks trip the first week of March! LOL...good morning, Sunshine...” 5:27:04 AM 2/21/06 “morning all,clear and 30 here. Sunshine go and have a cup of joe and don't sweat being late. Mata did you make enough omlettes for all, I will be right over” 6:17:30 AM 2/21/06 “Good Morning hugs to all....Lee and I go to his friends and the guys work on the race cars....I watch and bug them (that's my job!!!) and there was a cat there named Fred....he would run to me when we arrived and sit on me most the time...purring...biting me....and loving on me...Lee came in last eve and told me Fred was found dead in the road....I cried myself to sleep last eve.....he will be missed.....and now I have puffy eyes...” 6:21:04 AM 2/21/06 “...on a lighter note....bad fog here.... Sass....how did it go yesterday????????” 6:22:22 AM 2/21/06 “good morning all...i ate waaaay too much breakfast and feel bad, but on a brighter note, it's supposed to be sunny and 46 today” 6:47:52 AM 2/21/06 “to make matters worse i just went to make me a cup of coffee and i was out...i had to spend good money on starbucks...yuke, burnt tasting coffee...oh well, coffee's coffee...i hope it's not gonna be one of THOSE days” 7:13:33 AM 2/21/06 “MHH, I took a practical examination for Neuromuscular therapy (a deep, very therapuetic massage technique used to help people regain movement, perform better in athletics and get rid of pain). I had to know all the origins and insertions for 90 some muscles, and all of their seperate heads, know their fiber directions and what muscles lie over and under them and exactly how to work them. I had to choose ten muscles out of a bag, talk about them and show on a skeleton where they live, then do a memorized routine, then work six muscles selected for me by he instructor. I had an hour to do all but was so nervouse I flew through it in 35 minutes. This certificatin is what will get me a job in a Doctor's, PT's, or Chiropractor's office instead of a day spa. I've been in a pretty intense program for massage therapy for a year. This was the last of it. Divinty, it went really well, better than I thought it would, truthfully. I miss Chappy. Hope he's having fun in Arkansas. Wonder if he thinks of us with his morning coffee? He's probably thinking "ha-ha, they're at home/work and I'm on the trail". =)” 7:15:35 AM 2/21/06 “Mmm, picking muscles out of a bag!! Yum. Sounds like you knocked it out of the park, Sass!” 7:37:44 AM 2/21/06 “Naw, but I'm still cert-i-fied (woo-hoo!).” 7:42:11 AM 2/21/06 “and...you're still cert-if-able;) 7 above this morning. My computer says it's 7 above but feels like 8. How does that happen, reverse wind chill? Congrats, Sass. Sounds like a rigorous program. I took one in Virginia years ago that was only 6 months long. It was weird; I should tell the stories, but won't. Pick up my new eye glasses again.” 7:46:42 AM 2/21/06 “I wondered why you knew about practicals. I want to hear the stories!” 7:48:19 AM 2/21/06 “Baa Humbug” 7:51:30 AM 2/21/06 “Certifiable, LOL. CONGRATS!!! :-)” 7:52:06 AM 2/21/06 “I'm about to leave for my first wedding dress fitting, whoo-hoo! Worked out this morning for the first time in about 4 weeks. Was hoping to be extra-skinny for the fitting, but I don't think that is gonna happen. :( I have the whole week off, but I'm already stressed out with all the things I need to take care of! What's up with that???” 9:18:31 AM 2/21/06 “And today, the world can kiss my a$$. Oh yeah. It's one of those days. How can one get up on the wrong side of the bed if one never got to sleep?” 9:19:36 AM 2/21/06 Jump to Page << prev
